WKCTC Holiday Meal Delivery

Nov 21, 2017

PADUCAH, KY (11/21/2017) Each year several West Kentucky Community and Technical College
students have an opportunity to travel to El Salvador to help people in need. This
year to raise funds for their annual service learning trip, the students will be delivering
holiday meals to businesses in the community December 12 and 14.

"This is a chance for employers to say 'thank you' for their employees' hard work
and dedication throughout the year and for everyone to celebrate the holidays with
their friends at work, while also helping our students raise money to travel to El
Salvador for a first-hand perspective on helping others," said Jennifer Frazier, WKCTC
advancement specialist.

The El Salvador Service Learning trip, sponsored by Starfish Orphan Ministry and the
Hispanic Culture club, Diversity and Inclusion committee and Service Learning program
at WKCTC, focuses on building houses, feeding the homeless and providing supplies
to orphanages within the country. All proceeds from the holiday meal deliveries will
benefit the WKCTC/Starfish ministry service learning trip.

Students participate in various fundraisers to help pay for their service learning
trip each March. This year's meal delivery program is a new venture for the college.

"We haven't done this before, but it's a unique way for the community to be a part
of something special," said Frazier. "Every dollar will make a difference in the lives
of so many in El Salvador."

Each meal is $10. A minimum of eight orders needed within the Paducah area and a minimum
of 20 are needed outside Paducah. Orders for delivery are needed by December 5. For
a list of meals that can be chosen for delivery, contact Jennifer Frazier at jennifer.frazier@kctcs.edu or (270) 534-3229.
